Keep the door open for
feedback
Constructive criticism is important
for maintaining effective internal communi-
cation plans. Employees should feel comfort-
able communicating their concerns to their
supervisors and HR. Maintain an open-door,
no-judgment policy. Develop a process for
evaluating any issues and developing solu-
tions. Not only does this help build company-
wide trust, but it also can provide valuable
insight into improving the workplace.
Research shows that companies with
strong communication are rewarded in many
ways. Employees who feel respected through
solid, open communication are loyal, engaged
and even more innovative. The bottom line:
Good communication is good business.
Good internal
communication has
countless benefits.
It fosters a strong
culture, improves
collaboration,
streamlines results
and can even
improve morale
